Solve 10^5/1=5*10^4/x

$$\frac { 10 ^ { 5 } } { 1 } = \frac { 5 \times 10 ^ { 4 } } { x }$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{1}{2}=0.5$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x.

$$x\times 10^{5}=5\times 10^{4}$$

Calculate 10 to the power of 5 and get 100000.

$$x\times 100000=5\times 10^{4}$$

Calculate 10 to the power of 4 and get 10000.

$$x\times 100000=5\times 10000$$

Multiply 5 and 10000 to get 50000.

$$x\times 100000=50000$$

Divide both sides by 100000.

$$x=\frac{50000}{100000}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{50000}{100000} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 50000.

$$x=\frac{1}{2}$$
